| Summary: | In Texas in 1999, a minister and his wife were found murdered in their home, which sits 50 yards away from the town's train tracks. After analysis, police found similarities to a woman's murder that happened five months earlier in a suburb of Houston -- she also lived near train tracks. Fingerprints found at both crime scenes match, and the prime suspect in the Houston murder case, Rafael Resendez Ramirez, is dubbed the "Railway Killer." One month later, another body is found. This time the killer taunts police with newspaper articles of his own terror and a toy train next to the dead body. While a manhunt ensued, Ramirez was brought to justice because of the close ties the FBI had formed with Ramirez's family, who convinced him to give himself up to the police. |
